Beware — some go back awhile!

  To go along with Maradona, Zidane, and Pele:

  #2 is Bobby Charlton.
  Is #3 David Beckham?
  #5 is Johan Cruyff.

  #8 could be a young Michael Owen or it could be Rolando Fonseca, but I don’t feel good about either answer.

  Good to see Johan Cruyff make a legends list. I could have guessed Zidane would be there without clicking in here

  Rob: Not that I admit to anything this early in the game, but

  yeah, I can’t believe Cruijff slipped my mind! Definitely number 5!

• A |  October 4th, 2008 at 9:34 am

  
  
  

  I choose Rummenigge as my second option for No.2.

  I think #6 is Cobi Jones. He definitely fits Laurie’s definition of ‘legend’ (164 caps and arguably the face of the US team’s rise to respectability in the 90s).

  Whoever #6 is, he looks more like Oscar from The Office than anyone. That’s not my guess – I’m just saying.

• Brian |  October 4th, 2008 at 11:46 am

  
  
  

  My God…that is Oscar from the The Office. Good call, Ian.

  3 is definitely baggio. 2 rings a bell — it might be bobby charlton. 6 looks like eusebio to me.

• mele419 |  October 4th, 2008 at 7:30 pm

  
  
  

  there’s no way 3 is baggio, i don’t see it at all.

  Posted from United States

  

• A |  October 4th, 2008 at 7:57 pm

  
  
  

  Yeah, I think I’ll change my mind too: 3 is not Owen but Baggio.

  AK nice work on 6. It definitely looks like Eusebio.

  mele419: can’t you just see that baggio smirk!

  You know what, though? I don’t think 2 is Charlton: the eyes look too carefree happy for Charlton. Could it be Vogts?

• Brian |  October 5th, 2008 at 10:03 am

  
  
  

  If #2 isn’t Bobby Charlton, I will eat the photograph of Bobby Charlton that I’m almost certain #2 is.

  1) Maradona
  2) Sir Bobby Charlton
  3) Baggio
  4) Zidane
  5) Cruyff
  6) Eusebio
  7) Pele
  Ronaldo (Fat one)

  I have no idea about 8 actually, but I don’t think its Owen b/c I doubt he qualifies as a “legend”

  Posted from United States

  

• Rob |  October 5th, 2008 at 11:39 am

  
  
  

  8 is Ronaldo for sure.
